Yippee... a trip to WA in February

what a pleasure 

At least we will be ready for the wind at Casey the following week, 4.10 at Fremantle oval the Freo Doctor will be well and truly in

 

Not really a fan of driving to Casey but willing to leave on the Friday before the North game  just to beat all of you there. They will let us in, yeah?

Pity that second game isn't at Arden St again. Leave work at lunch time, a short train ride to the ground then another short train ride home again. So civilised.

my guess is 5k maximum

There's very few seats at Casey so it will be social distancing on the grass.

The advantage of it being the second round is that we will get the chance to see what happens the week before

What a ripper the game is at Casey, nice little 15 minute drive, easy peasy.

That game was just before COVID really started to hit.

Who could’ve predicted that it would be the last game one could attend in VIC.

Great result for us WA members. 
 

It’ll be 49 Celsius and I’ll be drinking $16 mid-strength beers from plastic cups. 
 

What a crock... not even the real season and already shafted with a trip to WA. Typical.

Livin' the dream!


people complaining about travel in the presason.  gold ?

you know the WA clubs do it every second week right?

 

in other news, there are practice matches in 2 months time!  get on your (literal) bike lads!!

Yeah, so AFL complaining about travel costs, yet scheduling  preseason games completely obvious to this agenda = typical.

Against MFC = easy target = typical.

What have we come to expect.

 

What our Demons need to become accustomed to is that we are favoured by no-one, loathed by and feared by everyone.

Hopefully the pre season trip to Freo will mean we have 1 less trip in the regular season to Perth. Looking forward to seeing how Freo go without Hogan and how the Bulldogs go with Treloar.

Doubt it.

Knowing our luck we'll back in Perth for round 1 to face Freo and then round 4 to face West Coast - both in the middle of a scorching late March/early April Perth afternoon.

Not sure how clubs in any professional sport can stump up the motivation to fly 4 hours across the country for a meaningless trial match - but it is what it is.

I feel for Geelong. They're making their big road trip to Moorabbin.

So, a community series where clubs play their home game away from the mainstream ovals, yet Geelong plays theirs at GMHBA Stadium?

(*only other team that are playing their home.game at home is the Gold Coast).

MFCSS suggests we will play in this first game in Perth, back to Arden St, a week off, Round 1 in Perth, Round 2 at Kardinia Park, second wave of COVID and off to Broome to Hub and play the remaining 18 games in the desert.

I bet you're right.......

Not sure what all the angst is about. Good sides win no matter where or when. Poor sides look for excuses. We will win both.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
